JUNIORS BASE TEN TO METRICS = HEADACHES What? All over again!?! a screeching voice rebelled against the never ending task of learning a completely new system of measurement. This is ridiculous! Why can ' t everyone else just use what we do and leave things as they are? It ' s too much trouble to learn to multiply and measure all over again. Headaches arrived when memorizing metric terms began to dominate classroom activities and were com- pounded only by the ever-abounding factoring in Algebra, the deriving of theorems in Geometry, and the memorizing of formulas in Trigonometry. Although Math struggles will not be quick in part- ing, the actual procedures of those long, extremely confusing problems and formulas, the actual spelling and definitions of all of those complicated terms, and even the 1001 excuses that were concocted to explain the sudden disappearance of your non- existent homework paper, however, will be forgotten— probably less than a week after the test! What ' s all this mess?! It ' s just Mrs. Patricia Bigger playing with her favorite math, and befuddling her class in the process. Darlene McIntosh looks longingly into Mrs. Helen Barnes ' eyes searching for the knowledge that lurks within her mind in fifth period study hall. Mathematics 101 JUNIORS

Engine trouble? Donna Pinchbeck and Donna Dix look on as Mrs. Rash explains how the car works. Up against the wall: Sixth period P.E. students play footsies with the ball during a game of crab soccer. SOPHOMORES SWEATY SOCKS AND STEERING WHEELS What do you do when you ' re standing half naked in the locker room and the bell rings? You grab your clothes, throw them on, run down the hall with your clothes on backwards, and slide through the door of your next class just as the tardy bell rings only to discover you forgot your book. Let ' s not forget all the fun in gym class, though. There is something for everyone: dancing, field hock- ey, crab soccer, basketball, football, weight lifting, volleyball, tumbling, and softball. All this is still only half of the subject. Twice a week there is health class. While the Freshmen are studying diseases and self-health, the Sophomores are learning, in the first semester, how to drive, not to mention how, during the second semester, to spot mental illness and retardation. To add meaning to those dress out days, always remember the purpose of Health and P.E.; healthy body, healthy mind, unhealthy tardies. Health and P.E. 103 SOPHOMORES
